Exploring the Variety of Glass Spirit Bottle Closures

Closures are an important part of glass spirit bottles. They play a key role in sealing and preventing leakage and contamination. There are many types of caps used for glass spirit bottles that come in different materials, designs, and sealing mechanisms. The most common choices include metal closures, plastic closures, natural and synthetic cork, and glass stoppers. Choosing the right closure depends on factors such as contents, processing conditions, shelf life requirements, and aesthetics.

In addition to providing a seal, the cap also represents the essence of packaging craftsmanship. When choosing a cap for your spirit bottle, it's crucial to know how to choose the perfect one. So, we've created the following guide to spirit bottle closures for you.

Two main neck style of spirit bottles

Before exploring the closures, you need to know the neck style of the liquor bottle. The finish associated with the mouth of the bottle is an essential element of a spirit bottle. It plays a key role in the preservation of your spirits and therefore requires special attention in our industrial processes. We perform many controls to guarantee compliance with standards. It is also a very effective differential tool. Adopting a different finish than the standards used in the market can make your bottles stand out powerfully. For many customers, the finish represents a major opportunity for personalization.

• Screw neck: The screw neck resembles many common glass or plastic bottles with a plastic or metal continuous thread (CT) cap.

• Bar top neck: Bar top finish is the most common neck type found in most spirits bottles. Bar top spirits bottles usually come in two neck sizes, 18.5mm and 21.5mm. While there are many other neck sizes on the market, these two are the most common.

Cork Stoppers: The main closure of spirit bottles

Natural Cork

Natural cork is a renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable liquor closure option. They are usually better suited for brown spirits such as cognac or whisky, while synthetic corks or screw caps are better suited for white spirits such as vodka.

Synthetic Cork

Synthetic cork is not made from cork. Instead, these corks are made from plastic compounds designed to look like natural corks. The benefit of these corks is that there is virtually no risk of TCA contamination or cork contamination.

Many of these bar top corks have a top component and a bottom component, and the material used between the components may be different. The top components can be made of plastic, aluminum, wood, or glass. The bottom component is usually made of a synthetic or natural cork handle; this is the part that comes in contact with the product.
